ALIGNMENT AND TENSIONING
 Read all safety warnings (see page 6) before proceeding.
 Lock power o.
 Mark the inial posion. Make all adjustments in small increments.
 By design, the conveyor belt should have 1/16” or less clearance to side frames. This assists in
prevenng debris from geng under the belt but some side rubbing may be expected. This is
normal.
 Loosen jam nuts, each side of machine (see picture below).
 Turn jam nuts half turn each side, repeang unl belt is at proper tension.
 Ensure all personnel are clear and that no tools are on machine or input chute.
 Turn power on.
 Run machine in Forward.
 Stop machine and turn power o.
 Adjust alignment by ghtening take-up bolt on side of conveyor where belt is rubbing side frame. Tighten
only one quarter turn at a me.
 Tighten jam nuts.
 Replace all guards.
 Turn power on.
 Run machine forward for ve minutes. If further alignment is required, repeat the above steps.
NOTE:
Belt may run slightly o center. When machine is run in reverse, the belt may run slightly o center to the
opposite side. This is normal. The belt may stretch during the rst few days of operaon. This will aect
alignment since the belt alignment relies in part on proper tensioning for eecve tracking.
